I'm 5'7" and 146lbs. Am I considered fat?

That depends is that 146lbs fat weight or is it muscle weight or a mix of the two?

Because I am almost 160lbs and have all muscle weight and practically no fat weight which results in me having single digit body fat.

If you take two people who weight exactly the same but one has muscle weight and one has fat weight you won't even be able to see that they weigh the same. It depends entirely on the type of weight you have.

[TickleMyPickle4Fun]

Depends on if it is muscle or flab.
The ideal weight for your height is 130 lbs... so i dont think you have much to worry about. But apparently you are self-conscious about it, so why not start a work-out routine. It will make you healthier and feel better about yourself. Do you not want to have that tone body that makes guys turn their head? Put in the effort, and it will pay off.

It depends highly on the weight distribution, if you have more muscle mass or higher bone density you automatically weigh more although you're still perfectly healthy.
Anyways I'm 3" taller and over 25lbs lighter than u but then I'm probably lighter than I should be, I'd think you're a normal weight for ur height..
Fat would equal 'morbidly obese' in my books.

[Vncmc]

Holy shit ur really tall for a chick

[Jxpxtxr]

@Vncmc so what?

[Vncmc]

Ur almost as tall as me lol

[Vncmc]

And ur cute as fuck too

You might have a little extra fluff, but unless it really bothers you, dont stress. The weight may also be due to muscle, which is denser than fat. So if you are muscular in your legs or stomach, your scale will show you having more weight. Per square inch, muscle has more mass than fat

[KRIEL55]

no it doesn't sound like it at all but it also depends on where all the weight goes and how much is fat and how much is muscle

[ATPPC]

Not fat but quite possibly chubby.

Go in front of a mirror with shirt off. Jump up and down and twist side to side. If you see skin jiggling you got weight to lose.

Don't bother with BMI it doesn't mean shit.

[ugh-why]

Any female is gonna giggle We are built with more fat on our hips and butt. By no means do we have to lose it.

[ATPPC]

@ugh-why go watch women's track how many jiggling bodies do you see

[MondaysAngel]

That is not chubby what on earth..

[Sweet-and-Sour]

BMI is a decent to of measurement unless you have a lot of muscle (and I mean body builder amounts) as muscle weighs more than fat.

But by your standards, women wouldn't have boobs... Do you not enjoy watching boobs bounce?

[ATPPC]

@Sweet-and-Sour Talking about ab region. Come on use your brain common sense I'm not talking about breasts.

I've seen BMI estimates work and not work. I don't lift weights but the muscle from swimming and running alone has tipped me close to the edge of being overweight. Asker is not obese so I don't think a rough estimate would cut it. But I'll take back what I said. BMI can be useful at times.

[ATPPC]

@MondaysAngel Maybe we interpret the word differently. There's room for improvement. How about that.

match yourself to the pictures

[MondaysAngel]

5'7" 146lbs is 23.0 bmi. *cough*cough* Within normal bmi range. Thanks for a pic to further prove my point.

[ATPPC]

@MondaysAngel healthy on the weight chart i'm using but off on the high end but if BMI is your thing then ok

My fault for using the word chubby though. Thought it's much much better than fat but then it's more of a synonym...:(

[MondaysAngel]

Ayy no worries

[Vncmc]

23 is borderline for women actually

[pabloalcr]

You really should have given us the measurements of your waist and hips instead. That said, at that weight you must be looking pretty good.

[Offthelist]

Im 5'6 122 .. pretty skinny so i wouldn't think so. Depends one muscle mass aswell.

[MaiNameIsSunshine]

Depends, people carry their weight differently, could be muscle even.

[MadeInAmerica]

I don't think so. Depends on how you wear your weight.

[loveskittens]

I think that's a great weight to be at for 5'7" some people like really petite girls but I'm positive most guys would agree.

[Polocrew]

Would need to see but for chicks, that is fat since they usually don't hold on too much muscle weight

[Anonymous]

You should be good. You have a bmi of 22.7 (anything over 24.9 is overweight). If you stay under 160lbs, you won't be overweight.

[XoxoXxx]

It depends on how you carry your weight but it does sound heavy to me.

[Anonymous]

internet people are rude. you can't justify if you are fat or not by a number. gotta look at different factors, like muscle mass and fat percentage. Also, look at urself in the mirror. Do you like how you look?

[BellePepper]

Talk to your doctor about it. Not internet people.

[idkwtftoputhere]

check your BMI and body fat % to be sure.

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

it can if you want it to be

[MexicanBabe]

Not at all I'm 5'8 and 137 pounds

[dudeinohio]

No, i'd say not fat at all

[blondfrog]

You're a bit over weight but not fat.

[Red_Robin]

The average weight of US woman is 140 pounds

[quiescent]

its 160 for women and 190 for men lol

[Red_Robin]

@quiescent lol, I just re-googled it it and 140 pounds was for the 1940's lol.

[Anonymous]

Definitely not. Don't worry

[stradivarius]

nearly fat babe, you must do exercise

[SunnyCaliGirl]

That all depends

[Vncmc]

Most likely yeah

[crazyperson19]

You sound perfect

[lonelyoldboy]

Nope

[Anonymous]

Decent weight...
